I lived in a town with 50k back in the 90s. I don't remember there ever being a bus service except for the school buses.
The town was pretty massive though. Half the town was on a plateau as well so you had to walk up a pretty huge hill to get to half of it.
There was quite a few taxi's driving people around.
Maybe there was a bus that I never used and can't remember. As a kid I rode everywhere. That hill was a son of a bitch though.
It definitely flew under the radar. I would say most people have never seen it.
If I lived in a country where this was something to worry about, if worry about it.
It's not something I've ever thought about or considered in Australia.
Sure break-ins happen but violent crimes during break-ins... it's so rare I've never heard of or met anyone that knows of it happening.
100% a scam.
No one is ever getting a product from this.
It's still a long way off being a millionaire or billionaire.
It's pretty impressive someone can make that much money in a lifetime.
Yeah, the issue is, the laptop is full of photos. She took it to Apple after I failed to figure it out. They said they can wipe it but not recover the photos.
It's just a crap system.
It's easy to replace. Not necessarily easy to do yourself. Voice simulation is trivial compared to things like replicating a full person or doing complex tasks that aren't the same every time. Or making subjective judgements.
It's why voice acting will be gone in the near future.
It's the low hanging fruit. Voice acting is easy. You just sit and talk into a microphone. It was always going to be first cab of the rank to replace.
Any job that requires subjective analysis and opinion will be harder to replace. But it will go eventually as well.
One day they will match up AI with autonomous machines and then manual labour will be completely replaced as well
I've no idea what's going to happen to most people when that happens. A few rich people controlling every job in the world. There will probably have to be a shift to proper communism so the state owns all the robots and AI and the people just exist in what the state provides.
It's going to be bad except for the very few at the top.
No they wouldn't. The system is terrible. Lidar would help with the shitty phantom breaking but that's all.
